Oh look, you're full of false propaganda.

Why dont you go study up some, and recognize the REAL numbers.
Yes, the old threads from 10 years ago are getting tiresome.

NDAA ,marks American citizens as enemies of those in power now. It is legal for drones to be used over US soil.
The reality is, the fake divisiveness from 5 years ago is no longer working. Real issues are now at hand.

If we all voted Libertarian, things would change. The Libertarian Party wishes no harm on anyone. They don't take bribes, their positions are clear. Gary Johnson the Libertarian Presidential candidate in 2012, was the first Libertarian Presidential candidate to get over 1 million votes. Gary Johnson is very smart, kind, creative, thrifty, abnormally honest & listens to everyone. He sides with the majority, in ways that won't harm anyone. Libertarians believe everyone should be considered equal, no hate allowed! He was a very popular 2 term guv of NM, inherited a deficit, cut taxes & left state a billion dollar surplus

When guv in 1999, he was a little ahead of the public in saying legalize "marijuana" (cannabis). He fell about 50' broken bones in back, rib, knee. No highly addictive opiates, no operations, just cannabis 3 years for pain management. Before his knee was fully healed, he climbed Mt Everest! Now he's climbed highest mountain on every continent except Antarctica. He's a serious athlete-swim 2.4 mi, run 26 mi, & bicycle 112 mi. Many abilities, not lazy. He could unite Americans if anyone could.

A self-made millionaire, started as a door to door handyman, then started construction company with himself as only employee, sold it for about $10 million when it had about 1,000 employees. He lived up to the slogan the best service for the lowest price, & that would be his promise in the White House.

When asked if the election were right now & a gun was to your head to make you vote Obama or Romney, he said he still wouldn't vote for either of them! He had internet town halls Google meet-ups or similar, & stayed until every question was asked & answered. He believes all Americans should have all their Constitutional rights back. Despite being a millionaire, he built himself a modest house in Taos NM, where he loves to ski. He's a soft-spoken guy, very matter-of-fact, no secrets. Nobody is considered too insignificant for him, he wants to know what everyone thinks about everything!

While Republicans & Democrats were paying about $10,000 for 1,000 votes, he got 1,000 votes for $10, from his website donations & sales. If they had $10,000 a plate dinners, he would be hosting a picnic in a park! How's that for a unique millionaire? We can help Gary win in 2016 by supporting Libertarian candidates this year. I think he will be helping promote them (& himself) this year lp.org will post candidates as they declare. Gary has a site called Our America Initiative. A vote for freedom is
never wasted. LIVE FREE

And I also can't believe some people still think that a new administration can clean up the problems in government. That's not gonna happen. Only a total and complete revolution will break up the corrupt power structures that control the US.

A perfect example of why we need Libertarian Party ASAP. This Nov, they'll have candidates for Congress, state legislatures, governors, mayor & city council, etc. For the 100% equally. Whether one wants more freedoms & less spying, or lower taxes by cutting out waste & inefficiency, Gary Johnson & Co, the Libertarians, will work hard for we the people. Vote for who you really want. LIVE FREE

The 5 year limit only applies to CASH AID not EBT or section 8

A vote for Republican or Democrat is a vote for more what? And almost everybody votes for them again. We can't have honest & caring people running things if we don't vote for them. The Libertarian Party is for the 100% equally, so no hate is needed. Libertarian Party is 3rd largest & fastest growing party. lp.org Gary Johnson, look him up! Our America Initiative. Green Party is for the 99%. Dr. Jill Stein was their recent presidential candidate. Pretty likely both will run again.

How can we get our freedoms restored if 98% keep voting Democrat or Republican? How do we get people talking about & voting for people who actually care about all of us? I hope more voters will use the online voting guides. Best wishes.

Constant surveillance of ALL our communications and actions. If you are doing something naughty in the privacy of your own bedroom. It is likely you are being watch by federal agents with infrared.

The federal reserve printing money like it's nothing, throwing hundreds of billions of dollars around and not enough being transparent about where it goes.

We are just getting shafted more and more. It seems like every couple years some expense or inconvenience is forced upon us.

When will it end? When will people say enough is enough and demand we clean up this system?

I guess as long as there are rich and powerful people profiting off this corrupt system, they will keep it going.

America... It used to be the land of the free. Now it is simply the land of $$$$$. That's all it's really about anymore.

Anyone who thinks that things in the US are fine and dandy at this point has gotta be seriously mislead in my opinion. The actions of the federal reserve alone are enough to make you realize the absurdity of it all.

The US Government is very, very, VERY huge and powerful. We don't stand a chance against it.
